More About Spu DIS.

The plan Of drying potatoes, sug-
gested by the APPEAL a few days
ago, has been tried by several per-
sons, with apparent success. The
tubers were sliced thin and spread
out in the sun, and in five hours
were thoroughly dessicated. When
cooked they retained their original
flavor, In the process of drying
they lost no more than eighty per
cent. of their weight. A proper
apparatus would dry them in fifteen
minutes. Now let somebody de-
wise a scheme for drying spuds with
their 'jackets" on, and fortune
is assured him.

A MATTER OF REGRET.
Tnc Industrial school mt the
Orphans, Home Closed
ndefiniteIy.

Keno, July %, 1887,
| Editor Gazette Few will learn.
without surprise and regret, that
the industrial school, at the Orphans
Home, has closed indefinitely.
With surprise, because really no
happier spot could have been select
ed upon which to plant the first
industrial school in this State !;
with regret, considering the great
help it would be to any boy starting
out in the world to be able to say
he has some skill in the use of his
hands.
Boys who have their parents can't
when work fails, return to the old
home; but the fatherless ward of
the State has no refuge when work
is scarce and want stares him in the
face.
The ostensible reason for closing
the boys workshop is because the
last Legislat ure failed to appropri-
ate a special fund for its mainten-
ance. But, SIR, liberal appropria-
ton was made for the Home, and
as the industrial school is on the
Home estate and forms part of it,
l fail to see the necessity for a sep
crate fund. In fact it need not be |
any burden whatever on the
Home fund, but rather a source of |
profit. If there is possibility OF
so arranging matters that a manual
training can be given to these poor
without expense to the
State. surely, sir, your readers
would like to know what consider
alton it is that will prevent them
rom having that training.

stumps and filled in with dirt. Then

along, and they complimented me
on my ring. Well it was a very
slick ring, ana worked first rate till
the elephants came on deck, and
they sank down and floundered
about till they struck the stumps.
They didn't like that much, and
one of the elephants which STUN
bled over stump snorted out loud,
and reaching down with his trunk,
yanked the stump out by one of the
roots and anaked it one side into
the orchestra, knocking the whole
music out. The audience gave a
yell of delight, but changed its tune
when the other elephants began to
snake up the stumps and throw 'em
round into the audience. The air |

The United States the Most Prosperous
Nation on the Globe.
Nations are now taking rank in the
order of their wealth. For it is wealth
that creates great armies. builds power

schools soldiers, establishes institutions
of learning, projects and executes great
enterprises. Wealth is the expression
of what people has accomplished.
The nations of the old world had an
immense start of the United States in
the amount of wealth they had accumu-
lated when the country became an inde-
pendent government. Their cities were
built, their bridges were then over their
streams, their castles were constructed.
their dwellings for working people were
built, their fields were cultivated, their
vineyards were bearing, their orchards
were yielding fruit, their factories were
established. All this represented tho
accumulated wealth of many centuries.
The United States began with nothing,
or nearly nothing. The people of this
country have now worked century.
The United States is now the richest
nation on the globe.
The following table from Mulhall's
book showing the wealth of the prinei-
pal nations of the world gives the
United States the first rank:
